Beverly Hills High School - Watchtower Yearbook (Beverly Hills, CA)

Page 17 text:

The yearbook is the longest lasting memento of high school life. I know you will cherish this Watchtower because it portrays a year that is so significant. For the first time in your lives our democracy has been threatened. Your response to this emergency has given your leaders confidence that you will make the most of the opportunities given you for a fine education, and that you will have your part in Freedom's coming hour. ISABELLE WADSWORTH What does the future hold for graduates of l942? What has the future held for former genera- tions of American youth? Youth has toiled and sacrificed because the future held hope, peace, and security. Today the national problem is a modern version of the strife of former years, but the objectives are unchanged. Let us guard the heritage entrusted to our care and progress toward the peace and security nec- essary for future generations. HARRY ALTER Our country's increasing need for good citizens directs us to those basic American ideals of home, school, and country. lt seems appropriate that our Watchtower be dedicated to the mem- ory of these basic ideals. Let each of us, then, do our part to make these memories worthwhile- worthwhile because we helped and did our best at a time when all help was sorely needed. lf1ElNlNETl-ll MITCHELL l3

Pllllllllldl l wish to extend to you, the students of the Beverly Hills high school, my sincere congratulations upon the completion of another year of your high school course. This achievement has not been attained without careful planning, diligence, and perhaps even without a few disappointments. Such experiences are exceedingly val- uable in one's preparation for a life work. lt is the seasoning process that toughens the fiber and gives strength to the materials which go into the building of our mon- uments. One of the great contributions a young person can make to his country is the training that he obtains which will help perpetuate our form of government. This means the development of those skills and techniques which are essential in the earning of an honorable livelihood as well as those activities which make for leader- ship in civic affairs. lt also means standards of conduct and the ability to appraise the relative value of things about us. The young men and women who have attained these activities and standards will, through their wise actions, become some of our leading citizens. Their years of service will increase, and the soundness of their judgment and their contributions will stand as monuments to our democracy. Students, go forth with a determination to succeed, grasp your opportunitiesg and work to conquer your obstacles. This should be our spirit at Beverly. R. C. MITCHELL 4 I2
